Bosch uses Rasic chip for LRR3 radar system
Infineon Technologies
Rasic chip
Robert Bosch will use a chip from Infineon's Rasic (Radar System IC) product range in its LRR3 radar sensor system (third-generation long range radar).
The LRR3 has been developed for adaptive cruise control (ACC) at ranges up to 250M and predictive radar-based safety functions such as predictive brake assist systems, collision warning features and automatic emergency braking.
Infineon's silicon-germanium (SiGe) technology enables smaller and more cost-effective radar systems than were possible with components based on gallium-arsenide (GaAs) technology.
US market research firm Strategy Analytics predicts that by 2011, 2.3m of the 3m vehicles with remote warning systems will use radar systems.
By 2014, seven per cent of all new cars could be equipped with a remote warning system, predominantly in Europe and Japan.
The radar chips from the Rasic family were developed for use in cars.
